Leddy Hammock

Inspired by lyrics by Leddy Hammock to a song by Sue Riley, \\u201cLeave those Walls Behind\\u201d from the double CD set with \\u201cTwelve Women of the Chalice\\u201d (2008):

Sounds of the city, the life I knew, fade in the background and drift away. As I turn to face the window, to the open blue, new life is calling to me. It says, \\u201cCome with me, Beloved, leave those walls behind, for a land of milk and honey\\u2014 a promised land, leave those walls behind.\\u201d

Oh, I\\u2019ve taken care of others, of ev\\u2019ryone but me. Closed in these walls, no room to breathe, I can only save them by choosing to be free.

New life is calling to me. It says, \\u201cCome with me, Beloved, leave those walls behind, for a land of milk and honey\\u2013 a promised land. Leave those walls behind. \\u201cNo more looking out with longing, hiding here within. Now I fin\\u2019ly have the courage to step outside. I\\u2019ve shaken off my sorrow, no more waiting to begin.

New life is calling to me. It says, \\u201cCome with me, Beloved, leave those walls behind,
For a land of milk and honey, a promised land, leave those walls behind.\\u201d
